DUE TO IFL BEING CLOSED TO NEW MEMBERS FOR CLOSE TO 2.5 YEARS SOME PARTS OF THE BUILDING ARE NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE TO MEMBERS, AS THEY ARE NOW HOME TO OTHER BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS. WE HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THIS 3D TOUR UP ON THE WEBSITE BECAUSE IT IS JUST SO COOL, BUT PLEASE NOTE IT IS HERE FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES RATHER THAN BEING AN ACCURATE PRESENTATION OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THE LAB.
